While the Standard and Deluxe trim receive just engine updates along with tweaks to the body graphics, it’s the new Smart variant that brings new features to the mix. Most notable is the brand’s H-Smart remote key-based operations letting owners lock and unlock the scooter at the press of a button on the key fob. The new system also negates the need to physically use the key to start the scooter and also assists in finding the scooter in a parking lot by flashing its blinkers when the corresponding button on the key fob is pressed.
